It did. Think you will find though that we must have played about 30 high balls up to the forwards. One came off. Would think that if we did the same thing again week in week out that result would hardly ever be the same. The long ball clearly wasn't working on Tuesday and we lost every...

When was the last time any City player ever gave out anything but praise to any City manager? We've had players praise Strachan and Macca and Reid and Adams and Dowie and Coleman and Boothroyd. Well done Team That-lot.

We are a strange bunch us City fans. Reverse the fortunes of Tuesday and have us a goal up in the first half and the same great spell, with an awful 2nd half and everyone would have been saying how crap we were. It's just a 20 min spell. Yes, AT changed things at half-time, probably with a...

Same again up front? Best stop hoofing high balls then into the pair of Cody and Elliott from the off, rather than waiting til the 2nd half. And I would add that I don't want a repeat of the 2nd half. I want a repeat of the 20 minute spell we had when we played really well. The rest of the 2nd...

More like the belly of the beast!!

This is getting to be like the 2nd coming of Christ. We've been waiting ages for that one too. Though thinking about it, maybe it's Jesus who is going to buy us and maybe like Jimmy Hill he will ride in on his big white shiny horse like a knight in shining armour to save us. Only in his case...

Gary Mcallister? Good God no. He was bloody awful.

Last season was different, but this season there is absolutely no excuse for us not playing attacking football.

He does sneeze like a walrus though.

Agree. I don't mind us losing if we have put in a good performance. You just accept that if we continue to put in good performances the results should come, though there are other factors too, like last season and having no-one to put the ball in the back of the net etc., but usually if you...

Just how good are these teams going to be once they finally start gelling? :o:o

The competition? Swindon? You sure you are looking at the right end of the league?

Good luck to the lad. Hope he shines.

He was awful on Tuesday. Lost count of how many times he gave the ball away or lost possession.

He has been very poor thus far. It's not just the league and cup games by all accounts either. Reports from the friendlies have been saying he has been awful too. Needs to show a vast, vast improvement. His heading, passing, touch and skills of possession seen lacking. Besides that he's been fine.

It's passing football, but for the most part it's sideways and back.

i thought Sheff Utd looked a good strong side who will be there or thereabouts for sure. People have remembered that we are now in a league lower and that the quality isn't as good haven't they? The Blades lacked a killer edge up front but looked quite solid at the back and had a very strong...

It's all about the nature of the draw for me. That can sometimes give a better indication of the bigger picture. Had we played well in both games thus far we would all be feeling a bit better about ourselves. Fact is, we didn't play well on Saturday and only played well for a 20 minute spell on...

You are moaning about a whistling smiley, but have nowt to say about the :jerkit: one? :facepalm: I know which one would annoy me more and make me more likely to want to whack a bar stool over someone's head. :whistle:

Be interesting to see what happens Saturday. Whatever the outcome it should be a game where we have most of the possession, pressure and control. You can always lose to the odd fluke goal or mistake or down to bad luck, but it really should a game we dominate.
